“Liam Gibson got into the box and had a shot saved. He was unfortunate, he could have cut it back, but has a shot at goal and then we misplace a pass in the middle of the pitch, a square pass, and they’re on the end of us.

“They didn’t really look like they were going to get that second goal, it looked like it could have been 1-1.

“We got ourselves into good areas at times but the final ball wasn’t good enough from us. If it had been, it would have led to an opportunity.

“Today, we didn’t find that solution, and that’s why we haven’t won the game.”
